Note: You may need to set the net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass variable so the packet doesn't pass through to the next firewall rule.

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=1

You can also issue the config command again with different bandwidth settings to fine tune the limit without tearing it down and rebuilding it.
